Originally, both the planning and output of the control files with uavRmp
was intended for terrain/surfaces with high relief energy and supported direct upload to the 3DR Solo
Drone and the CSV based interface of the Litchi
software for DJI
drones, respectively.
The PixHawk
based UAVs can be flown directly from QGroundcontrol
.
Note: If a higher resolved resolution terrain is to be taken into account for planning, uavRmp
must be used beforehand to perform this terrain analysis for flight planning. The control file must then be reloaded into QGroundcontrol
as a waypoint file and can thean be used as a flight control file.
Open the control file via QGroundcontrol or one of its derivates and proceed like usual.
3DR Solo:
solo_upload("export_1001_solo.waypoints")
For the DJI
consumer drones there is no opensource or inexpensive planning tool. As a flight control app, the powerful and very inexpensive Litchi
is a good choice. The output of both Qgroundcontrol
and uavRmp
planned surveys is a Litchi
CSV control file. After upload/import the flights are available via the Litchi mission Hub
Cloud.
Open Litchi Mission and click on the button ‘‘Missions->Import’’ and navigate to the control file firstSurvey_1001.csv. To export it click ‘‘Missions->Save’’.
